This was a very tough decision, but I'm gonna go ahead & pull the trigger. I'm selling my SR5. I'm definitely a 4-string kind of player, and I could use the funds to upgrade my amp. Anyway, the SR5 has the burnt apple finish, white pearloid pickguard, rosewood fingerboard, & non-matching headstock. It's a looker! It's in very good shape with just normal playing wear. There's a nick on the edge of the body right where your arm rests, but it's nothing too huge. (I can try to get a picture of it if anybody's curious.) This bass has a non-original hardshell case (SKB). I'm asking $800 shipped in the continental US.

Lemme try to find some pictures here.....

Sorry, the natural SR4 isn't part of the deal. :D

OK,

So you are selling a beautiful five-string that has a discontinued color... Hmmm... I honestly don't think you should. That Burnt Apple is gorgeous! Also, I can understand the point you made about being a four-banger. I'm one, too. However, you never know (as a working bassist) when that Low B will come in handy and that is why I have one on order.

Keep it, and I'm sure another way to fund your upgrading desires will present itself.:)

:eek:

Oh my Bill, I'm almost tempted to get that one back!

. . but I'm also saving for new amplification.

Any interest in a minty '96 Black/Maple Sterling????

Mr Mobay,
I understand and it's ok, I have dealt with plenty of groupies
and crazed fans over the years.
And of course, we can make arrangements for me to sign any
of these basses for you.

:cool:

OK! I'll take you up on it.

Can you sign it "To Larry with love from Sterling Ball"? ;)

It's a tough decision, for sure! But I just love the way the 4-string Stingray plays & feels. I thought I was totally in love with the SR5, but then I had to go & pull out the SR4 for a couple of gigs. :(

Thanks, but I may have a deal pending on the SR5. Ken, your Sterling offer got my attention for a while! I've never had a Sterling before. It would be fun to have one, but I have a feeling I'd neglect it & play the 'Ray all the time. But I LOVE the black/black/maple look!
